South Korean hip-hop singer MC Mong, who continues to face public criticism for a comeback after a scandal involving dodging military service, topped South Korean music charts Monday with his newest release, “Love Mash.”

The song, his title track from the album “Song For You,” rose to the No. 1 spot on most major Korean music charts, including Melon, Mnet, Olleh, Soribada, Genie and Monkey3, Yonhap reported.

The release follows his controversial comeback album “MISS ME OR DISS ME,” which dropped in November last year.

MC Mong, whose real name is Shin Dong-hyun, was put under investigation in 2010 for allegedly dodging his military service by pulling out healthy teeth. The widely followed scandal resulted in broadcasting bans from major Korean networks.
